Kannapolis Football 2017 Visit with Mike Newsome

I had a great visit with Kannapolis Head Football Coach Mike Newsome. Many of you may remember his as the head Football coach at Butler who won two 4AA NCHSAA State Championships before moving to Kannapolis. After visiting with Coach Newsome, it's obvious he loves his kids and he loves Kannapolis High School

Kannapolis spent the last 4-sesaon playing the very Tough MeCKa conference, home to Three time state Champion Mallard Creek. Kannapolis a small 4A school played among the biggest schools in the state and held their own. Now they will be moving back into the their old home the SPC, a 3A conference.

Coach Newsomes talks a little bit about last season, things that Kannapolis is doing to get better; next season; his thoughts on programs and finally his thoughts on off-season development, primarily the weight room.
